The 2010 St. Louis Rams offense was never going to be confused with the 1999 St. Louis Rams offense, but there was hope that the offense would improve significantly this season and certainly get better as the season went along. The truth is that it is significantly better than last season, because frankly it couldn't get any worse.

That being said after appearing to be moving in a positive direction in the middle of the season it has started sliding again. During the Rams last three games the offense has only managed 32 points. That won't cut it for a team in the NFL much less one trying to make the playoffs.
